This year as we are decorating our Christmas tree, we have been looking for sturdy, toddler-safe ornaments to hang on the bottom part of the tree, as he is now old enough to enjoy putting ornaments on (and taking them off) the tree. We got some strands of Christmas garland and cut it up into short pieces for him to hang. We also have things like pine cones and plastic snowflakes, which are still ornament-like but safe for little hands.

THIS, however, was not what I had in mind. Come back in a few days to see the little people hanging by ribbon from the Christmas tree branches, as my tree will have been taken over by those Fisher Price Little People!!
